The lesson of the decade; scam out in the open if you want to get away with it.
GumDrops the ball again
GumDrops the ball again
So this guy virtually does fuck all for nearly two years, lies constantly and blames others for breaking his own promises and yet still gets good money from a large gullible fanbase?
What the fuck is he still doing in adult gaming? He should start a career in politics, he would easily make 10 times more money with those skills...

Go to his Discord and you´ll see them. Let me represent to you some Abby (aka Gumdrops wife or family member) and Gumdrop cucks here:

Fuck that is depressing reading. It just kills the soul to know there are people out there that are willing to fork over money for literally nothing. How do I meet these people? I have a bridge to sell them.

Some actually had success at sell bridges too
You have people crowd funding to help build a wall... And you wonder why people spend on this? Must be dangerous for you to open the door into the real world. People spend on silly things all the time, but it's their money to spend, regardless if I think it's a waste or not. Can bark at the moon and it won't change one bit.

Mind if I borrow these snaps for the next Captains Log? Think it's time the Captain gave his own review of the game...

I would wait even more, if that game was good, or at least promised to be good. But it is not. With somehow unique/unusual concept (two sides of one story/two angles or whatever you want to call it) there is mediocre story, and weird renders. He added too much new blank characters, story so far make sense only to some point. And about renders, why he decided to make "object covering the face" shoots and werid angles for some reason? It would make a sense in a comic book, but not in a game, where scene/angle changes every 3-4 frames. And to waiting time, you can wait half of a year for Summertime Saga, because you know, that at the end you will get 10/10 quality product, but here? You cant even tell if it will be finished. Author goes to my "do not trust" list.

Wouldn't be crazy for this scammer to have several fake discord accounts to promote the idea among newer, naive people that he is working instead of scamming. It would be right up his alley.

What the hell are this bunch of things he posts during the year? will be the production of Beowulf 2? It must be something really intriguing to hold 900 patrons for 2 years.

Captain's Log, Day, Gumdrops failure 47
Note to mods: Gimme that sweet sweet TLDR tag baby, do it for the Captain.
Crew have long given up with the Gumdrops Void's ghostly call of promises of 'update sOoOoOoOon', would much rather play cards with the Mods. It's constant whimpering out about the 'update release' date is little more than a fart in the wind at this point. It's irrelevant whatever is said, and no one truly believes the dates given anymore, not even the supposed 'dev' saying it, so why bother?
Little Suzie and the wife have long instead started reading 'War and Peace' together and have told me to take the crew to Dega-buster 5 as we've already been docked here far, far too long.
"First off, I want to spill the beans on animations; nothing too spooky, I promise. The majority of animations I've commissioned from our animator FatCat have been posed. Inversely, the majority of animations have not been rendered; this includes the final two animations yet to be posed." -Gumdrops
Is production reversing backwards or something? What happened to 'Just two animations to go guys!' Jesus Christ, why...Why haven't you listed how many animations have to be rendered? Oh...Oh God...
His words are so unreliable even Gumdrops can't rely on Gumdrops anymore.
The narrative he's told is constantly changing to suit the circumstances that justify the constant missed deadlines.
Why bother keeping with a straight story when you can just move the goal post every time? Implying your update is literally just around the corner? Oh so sorry, looks like you forgot to render NEARLY EVER ANIMATION, Oh boy, that one must have just slipped your mind aye?
Just like taking a right instead of left at albuquerque right?
"When'll it all be done? Before the heat death of the universe, probably. More surely before Christmas. Both those windows are ridiculous, already millennia past previous windows established, however it's simply embarrassing at this point to miss another promised date, to once again let you down." -Gumdrops
Ahhhh got it, leaving it open for your *cough* gullible *cough* 'fans' so you can take it rightttttt up to Christmas without scrutiny. Gotcha.
Always keep the carrot in reach for the rabbits running on the treadmill, genius stuff.
Why suddenly care now about the missed deadlines? You've hardly addressed the issue before, and if production is truly THAT far behind, why did you think this month was possible for release?
Wiley Coyote's plans make more sense than your production and the weird, supposed timescale of this games development.
"Standing by my previous sentiment, I urge you to withhold your pledge if the weekly content leading up to Part X isn't as valuable to you as your support. I'll do my best to provide for those who choose to tag along a little longer, sharing a cutie pie or two if you'll let me." -Gumdrops
You seem to think 'standing by your word' at this point somehow makes it more valid. Your 'word' stands on a house of cards as far as anyone with half a brain is concerned. Even Joshua Lawyer Tree points out how utterly unreliable his word truly is. What more can be said?
No one is supporting you for your weekly content of vague promises and weird angled pin-ups you shovel out.
They are supporting you for the goddamn update you've been promising for the last 2 years.
By the way, do the cutie pies you share all still want to slit their wrists or down a whole bottle of Paracetamol?
So, as many of you know
I was finally and recently kicked from the Gumdrops Discord where I decided after truly bottling this deadline and having some newbie stumble in asking how the game was going, well, I think I summed it up quite nicely.
"Either Gumdrops is a full-blown scammer or he's an accidental scammer for simply allowing this money sink hole to exist for so long and profit from it with so little to show and blatant mismanagement/abuse of Patron trust.
Don't worry though, in my absence the Discord made sure to re-affirm their loyalty to their benevolent leader.
By the way, if you ever wanted to see that the Sunk Fallacy Cost was well and truly alive, here's some empirical evidence for you.
Side note: I like how Abby's changed her name to 'Kommandant' after my little jibe, really warms my heart knowing I left her gritting her teeth in rage.
Imagine being able to play Gumdrops off like he's some lovable rogue as he swindles you of your cash.
I find it funny how Gumdrops use to get very defensive when I claimed a 'cult like mentality' was developing among his followers.
Well...Kinda hard to argue when it's so glaring in your face isn't it?
"Always believe in Gumdrops, for he is the light and truth, trust in Abby, for she speaks for the Great Prophet. Do not question the Gumdrops, he is above that, have faith, HAVE FAITH, HAVE UNQUESTIONING UNWAVERING FAITH!" -The Gumdrops Discord Creed
You just know that's how they like it...Unquestioning, totally content.
At best only offering the mildest complaints like "Oh damn haha! I totally know how rough the wait is, like, y'know?" like brands desperately trying to relate to their audience but so very painfully out of touch and borderline condescending. Underplaying any serious and legit complaints.
And that's it really.
Will this sad and sordid tale ever have an end?
Probably not, and even if it does, it's not gonna be worth it.
Someone send Jim Sterling the documents on this stuff, it'd make a fine 'jimquisition' episode.
I thought I'd at least wait until this mystical update finally arrived before I wrote my review,
but why bother? I'm not even sure it'll ever arrive and really, does he deserve anymore polite cutesy waits before I cast judgement?
Not really,
this is your Captain,
delivering more content that Gumdrops ever could.

Yeahhhh, still, if only he could talk about all the scandals that go on with adult gaming. It'd make a good ep.

I don't think his sponsors and partners would like that very much. Youtube doesn't really bring in the greens as it used to, so most creators on the platform need added sponsors etc if they want to do it full time. Well, except, really big ones, like Felix.
And tbh, if a serious eye was put on adult games on Patreon.. .I think Cloud Meadow and SummerTime saga would probably received a lot more scrutiny due to the numbers they pull and what the supporters actually get back from it. And not to forget all the drama that would get created by all the fetishes found in all these games, rape, incest, etc etc. No one would just single out GD in such a piece, it would be like drop a soaked diaper at adult creators on Patreon.
There is some "early access" one man bands on steam that put all of these to shame, looking at what they create and pump out of regular updates, and with much less funding.
There is no real "adult industry/platform" for adult games, which is why quite a few creators on Patreon able to drag people along with slow updates and mediocre releases. And most just doesn't care, because they will throw money at whatever get their fix. See people clap their hands like damn monkeys for 10 minutes content, and then have to wait 2-3 months to next update for another 10 mins.
